Corruption Perceptions Index 2012

INTERPRETING THE RESULTS Score: Between 0 – 100, where 0 means highly corrupt and 100 means very clean. Cannot be compared with 2011 score: A change in score from 2011 does not reflect a change in perceptions of corruption between the CPI 2011 and CPI 2012. Rank: Out of 176 countries globally (can also use regional rank), a relative measure of perceived corruption. A change in rank from the CPI 2011 to CPI 2012 could be driven by: a) change in country coverage from 2011 to 2012 b) change in perceptions of other countries scored in 2011 and 2012 c) changes in perceived corruption in that country Therefore any change in rank position from 2011 to 2012 should be interpreted with great caution given the range of influencing factors listed above.
